How good are you at English?

Contractions are permissible in college essays. Sometimes the emotion/feel of the essay does not call for the full words. Contractions emote a more casual feeling. For example, if you were to say. "Honey, don't go over there." it feels a lot different than "honey, do not go over there.� Using "do not" is more of a command, whereas "don't" comes off as a request. Believe me, I've taken enough college lit classes to know. Reports and research papers for sociology may be a bit different. Thanks for the tip about not using MLA outside of lit work; I had no idea. 80%

60%. that's good considering i have never heard of a few things mentioned on the quiz (i only finished the 9th grade so far). great quiz!
